About the Game

ESTIMATED PLAYTIME

On average, the game takes around 1 to 2 hours to complete.

GAME PROGRESSION:

Throughout the game, you may die. If you quit, you will lose your progress, as there are no save points. However, you can use your karma points to seek redemption, allowing you to return to life and continue your progress. In co-op mode, players can also revive each other using Serum Y syringes.

You take on the role, either solo or in co-op, of a person trapped in a series of deadly puzzles and challenges, and you must use your wits and problem-solving skills to escape the traps and survive. The game offers a survival horror experience that strongly emphasizes puzzle-solving. To find a way out of the traps, players will need to explore their surroundings, gather items, and interact with various objects.

The traps serve as the central focus of the game, each one meticulously designed to test the player's skills and intelligence. They will range from simple puzzles to more intricate and life-threatening challenges, demanding creative and unconventional thinking in order to escape. The game creates a tense, dark, and atmospheric atmosphere to keep players constantly on edge and engaged. The environments are meticulously detailed and immersive, aiming to evoke a sense of dread and unease.

Discover the power of choice in our game with a Karma system that stands at the heart of the gameplay experience. Your every action has weight, and every decision you make can tip the balance, affecting the entire course of your journey. Our Karma system is more than just a metric, it's a narrative device that deepens the immersion and ramps up the stakes. Gaining or losing Karma points doesn't merely shift numbers—it influences the game's difficulty, modifies the narrative, and has the power to alter the game's conclusion.
